The invention relates to a rudder for marine vessels having a rudder shaft which is arranged on a marine vessel hull such that it can pivot about a rotation axis, having a rudder blade which is connected to the rudder shaft and can pivot about the rotation axis with respect to the marine vessel hull, and having at least one bearing for bearing the rudder blade or rudder shaft on the marine vessel hull, wherein the bearing has an inner bearing section and an outer bearing section, which rests such that it can slide on the inner bearing section. The invention provides for a closure pin (4, 4'), which is arranged on one of the outer bearing section (210) or inner bearing section (220) to rest such that it can slide on the other of the inner bearing section (220) and outer bearing section (210).
